In a little over a month my students will be reading A Wrinkle in Time. I’m currently doing the quick reread/skim before we all read it together. This is a book that they picked out.
From A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle:
Did a shadow fall across the moon or did the moon simply go out, extinguished as abruptly and completely as a candle? There was the sound of leaves, a terrified, terrifying rushing. All light was gone. Darkness was complete. suddenly the wind was gone, and all sound.
Grab a book and join the fun.
I loved this book as a child and remember almost nothing about it. I read this around the same time I read Witch of Blackbird Pond so I think I’ve got some bits of both combined. I put it on my Classics Club list just to make myself reread it. I love the excerpt on this. I’m really looking forward to revisiting this story.

When my students picked this as one they wanted to read this year, I purposely put it towards the end of the school year because I haven’t read it in quite a while and knew I’d have to reread it before we all read it together. It is a great story.
That’s a great passage. I haven’t read the whole Narnia series but I should.

Thanks. This is a great part of the book. The Narnia series is also great. My students have one chapter left before we finish The Magician’s Nephew and are loving the book.
I love A Wrinkle in Time! I didn’t read it as a child, but I read it a few years ago and it made me a little sad that I never read it when I was younger.

I remember reading it when I was in fifth grade. It has been a few years and I am so glad that my students chose this one out of the list of options I gave them.
Beautiful 56! I know this is a famous book but it’s one I have not read.
Happy weekend!

Thanks so much! I’ve been tweaking it a bit and putting my rusty Photoshop skills to use.
I’ve heard such good things about this book. Sounds thrilling and the cover is wonderful.

This is a great book. I think my students will love it.
I read this years ago and I don’t remember a single thing about it…except maybe something about hot chocolate.

The first chapter does have hot chocolate. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
